A couple of weeks ago we went, yet again, to our favourite park for a walk on the trails. It was a mild day and the walk was very slippery but the boys didn’t mind! There were some very cool ice formations here and there and I couldn’t help but take some pictures.
The boys spotted this leaf below the ice. It was moving gently from the flow of water around it as the ice melted.
Luckily the water here is only a few feet deep with no current. Great for safety when viewing ice floats.
The boys spotted this piece floating by and I managed to grab it. It was clear as glass.
Of course, the ducks saw us and thought we had food! Sorry ducks, not allowed to feed you, park rules! (although many do anyway)
Bubbles!
The boys wanted me to take a pic of this piece as well and I thought I’d go in for a closer look.
It’s amazing the forms that take shape as ice melts.
Since this day a couple of weeks ago there has been snow and rain. Does not make for a fun trek. Hope to go out again soon – we all need that fresh air and sun! Come on Spring – we are ready!
So neat! We JUST got back from our trail walk and found a great stream filled with awesome ice structures. It was like a magic fairy land. So pretty.
Love the photos you took. That super clear ice is amazing!
Oh I bet that walk was sooo nice in this lovely mild weather and sun we are having too. Love the sound of a stream. Magical indeed!
I love ice, so many cool formations. Ice is beautiful!
One of the best things about winter!
Is that Shubie Park? There are ducks there in the winter? We always go to Frog Pond but the ducks have not been seen since late fall. We are waiting for their return!
Yep, there are ducks year round. Which looks nice but really, they should be migrating but people keep feeding them despite the signs stating not to.
This looks like an amazing place. I love the ice photos 🙂
We love this park because it has great trails with old locks and a canal with ducks, heron, tons of squirrels and birdies and always something interesting to look at. Plus, there is a beach at one end, a campground, and you can rent kayaks and canoes in the summer. Best part, it’s ten minutes from home. 🙂
